The soybean is one of the only plants that matches meat for protein completeness, which is why so many staples begin with it.
Soybeans are legumes that can be eaten whole or processed into foods like tofu, tempeh, and soy milk. They are one of the few plant foods that provide complete protein. They can be enjoyed as edamame, added to dishes, or used in a variety of plant-based foods. Soybeans provide protein, fiber, and essential nutrients that support overall health.
